Bear / Bear / Cutie The health tracker that keeps it's mouth shut. Bearly Fit is a health and fitness tracker that minds it's own business. It’s just an app. It tracks stuff. Your stuff stays on your phone. https://bearly.fit
Bearly Fit 3.0 is now live! The app now includes a database of other 2,000 full searchable food options, built in with no internet required! Each food contains - Nutritional information - Nova and Nutriscore grades - Flags covering Added sugar, GMO, organic, Palm Oil, Sustainable bearly.fit
Bearly Fit - 2.3 is now live! This version introduces the workout plan wizard allowing you to build full workout plans directly in the app. No more staring in to the depths of the gym wondering where to start! Let me know what you think! #fitsky #buildinpublic #bearlyfit
Gotta love how recipe comments are like: I replaced the sugar with turkey drippings and the flour with dandelions. It said to fold ingredients in gently but I stirred them with a pogo stick and after all that work the recipe tasted like tin cans. Zero stars.
Bearly Fit is 1 years old today! Bearly Fit started to help me with my own health. An app that would let me monitor my exercise, nutrition and body in one place whilst still owning 100% of my data. #buildinpublic #fitsky #startup 1/7
The people who say, “Food is expensive, just garden” have perhaps not been to a garden store.
Android makes cloud backups complicated. So I had to spend today creating mock data to test backup sizes. Android cloud backups have a 20mb per app limit. So far that's not been an issue for @bearly.fit. 1/5 #developerlife #react #buildinpublic #fitness
Bearly Fit - Dev Log - 03.10.2025 I have mostly been improving the quick menu! The quick menu is accessed through the home screen, it gives you quick access to add different types of logs. 1/3 #buildinpublic #fitapp #health
People always ask me "Why the Teddy Bear" When I built Bearly Fit I had a few core problems I wanted to solve. 1. Control of my data 2. Completely offline 3. To log exercise/nutrition/body in one app 4. An app that wouldn't shame me and doesn't take itself seriously #buildinpublic #health 1/4
I feel like £3k alone is like 3 years at a decent gym and classes. I never understood the point of Pelotons
Brian Penny 🍿@brianpenny.bsky.social · last yr.Does anybody still use Peloton? Few can afford $2000-$6000 for an exercise bike along with $50/month subscription. But now they’re adding AI to justify raising prices, so you will pay more for less.
Investors occasionally approach me about @bearly.fit And each time I've rejected it. You can build something fast if you just throw money at it. But building something amazing - takes time. The tech world has enjoyed easy and cheap investment for many years. 1/5 #buildinpublic #developerlife

Bearly Fit Dev Log - 18th September 2025 Today on Bearly Fit... I have mostly been improving the "Activity" section. Making it easier to get digest workout, nutrition and life log stats. 1/3 #buildinpublic #fitness #health
Month 10 of Building in public! I wanted to take a slightly different approach to these posts. So I'll start sharing more detailed stats, give better insight into the bigger "building in public" picture and possibly do a write up which goes into even more detail. #buildinpublic #app Part 1/7
After 10 months, 100s of hours and 4 rejections Bearly Fit is live on iPhone!* I built Bearly Fit to keep me accountable, I wanted better control of my health and complete control of my data! You can download it here bearly.fit/app #buildinpublic #fitness #fitapp #startup
I decided to apply to Apple for an app nomination. Not everyone knows why I chose the cute bear, so if you're interested. Here's the why :) #skyfit #buildinpublic #teddybear
The African (or woodland) dormouse…. Absolutely adorable do you agree…. 🥰

Alright so I f**ed up.... Yesterday's release broke the app for new users... But look! I've fixed it! This small patch will fix - Crash for new users preventing the app from loading - One UI 7.0 bug causing the status bar to overlap the navigation Sorry... love you... #buildinpublic
